+1  Q: 

how to export a checkbox to a .doc document in OpenOffice ?

Hi all,

I use OpenOffice through the java API, and make him open the .odt file, fill in some values and save as .doc and .pdf. The .doc have no checkboxes in it.

I'm basically looking for a workaround of bug 45347

Correcting the bug by myself is not an option since a checkout of the openoffice code takes more than 10h (various Go of stuff), and I never managed to carry out a compilation of it.

Thanks,

Nico.

One workaround would be the Apache Java POI library -- generate the document with OpenOffice, then open and modify it with the POI Microsoft Office API -- here's someone's suggestion for a similar problem

That's an idea. Complex but could work. I'll wait a bit to see if somebody have a simpler stuff before I accept your answer, anyway the system will choose the highest rated one if I forget to come back before the expiration.
